There's a lot of research demonstrating that external factors have a pretty major impact on criminal behavior (nutrition, socialization, etc during developmental years, as examples). So society plays a role.

If you're interest in reading, Robert Sapolsky's Behave is pretty long and a little heavy, but a great, reasonably broad view of the things that make us tick from a bunch of different lenses. It's tied-ish with Daniel Kahneman's Thinking, Fast and Slow as my favorite non-fiction, and looks more at social factors like the example above. I haven't read Determined yet, and really doubt it's going to convince me not to believe in free will, but his underlying base of knowledge is legit.

I'm not sure if they've mapped every multitouch gesture to the Vision Pro out of the box, but it's something they can and should do in time. There's a lot of potential there.

You could easily have some of the same gestures do double duty as remote inputs on TV interfaces, since it's all context dependent on where your eyes are, and there aren't that many to map. But swipe up down left right to navigate a TV interface would get old I think.

I do actually think they should (I understand developer relations/contract reasons they don't) straight up give you emulators apps can't distinguish from the TV/iPad/iPhone on both MacOS and Vision Pro, and take action against developers who try to artificially block you from using their apps on other devices. There are things that won't work, but most will, and I think letting developers artificially segment it out when it's all basically the same chip now is kind of bullshit.

I understand that. My point is that "look and pinch" effectively maps perfectly without alteration to touching a point, or touching and dragging.

It's not that you can't also do a virtual remote to handle TV apps, but the interaction they intend is a lot closer to a tablet. Defaulting to TV would teach developers bad habits. You'd end up with more interactions more limited than they need to be.

I'm not a Ravens fan. I like the organization and coach and casually rooted for them until they played Lamar, but I'm a Pats fan.

I just can't stand when flashy shit gets a guy treated like he's the best in the sport when the fatal flaws are just as big of a negative. How many other guys can you make a highlight reel of sprinting backwards and blindly throwing jump balls? Even when his guys actually do go get them (which has happened more than it should), those are awful decisions. Every bit of his patient, deliberate approach with his legs and protecting himself and the ball is offset by his recklessness when you make him a pocket passer. And that's part of the job description.

As far as I'm concerned, he just doesn't have the capacity to be a good enough passer to win a championship because of him. His legs will do it in the regular season. But at some point, to win a Super Bowl, you need to make throws when the defense knows you have to throw, and I don't think he's capable physically or mentally of doing that.

In terms of the run, Lamar was the biggest driver behind the new OC with more emphasis on the pass game. I think it's kind of ironic that the Chiefs went heavy packages so often on the other side to beat them, but the difference is that Mahomes treats playground ball as a fallback. If the play design doesn't work, he'll move when necessary and his guys will get into scramble drill, but he's trying to play within the offense first. I think, if you could do out the charting, that the proportion of Lamar's completions that are guys breaking off their routes would be a lot higher, because he can't/won't pull the trigger on the scheme stuff.

That's insane.

The problem with a rhythm game is he doesn't have the touch or accuracy. All those slants and drags and swing passes need to be in the right spot at the right time with the right amount of power, because it relies on guys being able catch the ball in stride and gain yards after the catch. Lamar just rifles it in, and his placement is all over.

He's a great athlete, but he's just not a good passer. He sees the field great as a runner, and is genuinely special with the ball in his hands. But if you're a good defense who can force him to be a passer, he's not going to get the job done.

They did try at least one screen Chris Jones batted down. I don't remember others. But there were shorter passes he could have thrown on some of the plays, which is what you do against the heavy blitz, and he just held onto the ball.

It's also worth noting that they're both Japanese companies, and Japan has different views on IP than the rest of the world. I don't really know enough to go into detail, but it's entirely possible something a company from the US could laugh off is enough to get action taken in Japan.

Trademarks can become genericized if you don't actively defend them.

Copyright cannot.

Detroit really melted down. So many dropped passes after that Gibbs fumble.

That interception was hilarious. He threw it into triple coverage and missed by a good 5 yards.

Edit: went back to double check. It was on second down from a completely clean pocket too.

They are the entire market. No one reasonable is buying anything over $100 that isn't iPad. There's nothing remotely competitive.

Pretending $50 junk machines that break in months, can barely handle Facebook, and only exist in the third world is the same market is laughable.
